Arctic Cat (4.5% ABV, can)
Rich golden, with a full, slightly off-white head that lingers well. Not too much on the nose, but I do get a little chocolate. It’s billed as a white stout and it certainly fools you into expecting hoppiness when what you get is, indeed, more stout-like. There’s a very slight dank hop characteristic, but milk chocolate dominates, with some side notes of coffee and vanilla. Very enjoyable!

Easy Peasy (2.6% ABV, can)
Slightly hazy gold with a white head, there’s a floral, fresh aroma. On the palate, there’s lemon citrus and a noseful then of elderflower. Good body for 2.6% and definitely good for summer sessionable refreshment.
